Hello | Hola | Buon giorno 👋

Known as YGR, The Rubenator, Ciroc Obama & Ruben A. Ramirez.

I was born and raised in Stockton, CA, went to school in the Northern Bay Area, studied in Milano, Italia, and then moved to Barcelona, Spain, to get more sunshine. Best 2 years of my life.  Now I am back in my hometown saving up some $$$ while working, learning, and building.

I'm a man of routine and discipline (i promise I'm not a hardo). 5:00 AM workouts, 36 hour fasting & building a brand. Consulting at Simform, working on building a platform to increase financial literacy in blue-collar & minority communities, 

Always up for trying the latest technologies and drinking ice-cold sparkling water. Strong believer that there aren't enough Latinx in American culture so trying to change that within music and tech. I make music as YGR (check my music video on the page), write at ABetterAmerica. 

I am starting the journey of becoming a software engineer so I can create something as cool as Yusuf is building with OneProfile (what this site is created on).
